Problems solved by technology

[0012] The accompanying variable lighting function is also called "Follow me" in English terminology and as described in the document FR2929193, the accompanying variable lighting function does not provide flexibility in the rotation of the lighting module on the one hand and on the other hand for the Light accompanying mobility outside the vehicle and for drivers or passengers moving in the area around the vehicle Flexible accompanying functions
[0013] On the other hand, the swivel lighting and / or signaling modules known from documents FR2797614 and FR2797677 are not specifically dedicated to accommodating functions of the “Follow me” type: the swivel amplitude of the swivel module is limited to 45 sides of an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle °

Embodiment Construction

[0040] An orthogonal coordinate system XYZ is defined relative to the vehicle 1 (and therefore relative to the headlamp 2), said orthogonal coordinate system XYZ includes three axes perpendicular to each other, namely:

[0041]- an axis X defining a horizontal longitudinal direction coincident with the general direction of movement of the vehicle 1 ,

[0042] - an axis Y defining a horizontal transverse direction and together with said axis X defining a horizontal plane XY,

[0043] - An axis Z defining a vertical direction perpendicular to said horizontal plane XY.

[0044] The headlamp 2 comprises a housing 21, the outer surface 22 of which has a curvature determined to form a continuous shape with the adjoining body parts 40 (bonnet and fenders), said continuous shape Contributes to the aesthetics of the front surface of the vehicle 1 .

[0045] The lighting device 3 is arranged inside the headlight 2 for adopting various lighting configurations.

[0046] To this end, th...

Abstract

The invention relates to a follow-me-home lighting and / or indicating device for a motor vehicle capable of illuminating an area extending around said vehicle for a predetermined duration, wherein said device has at least one first source of white light (33) and at least first (51) and second (52) rotating lighting and / or indicating modules capable of generating, respectively, light beams in predetermined main directions. The invention is characterized in that each of the first (51) and second (52) rotating modules has a first surface (MIR) and a second surface (MOT) opposite the first, wherein the first surface (MIR) has a reflective surface (37) capable of directing the light beam (40) emitted by the first source of white light (33) toward said area and the second surface (MOT) bears a pattern. Said device also comprises a control unit (OC) capable of controlling the rotation and the brightness of at least one rotating module (52) to direct the first surface (MIR) thereof toward said area such as to sweep at least partially said area via a series of at least two consecutive rotations of at least 180 degrees, first in one direction then in the other, of the rotating module (52) with a brightness determined according to the rotation of the module (52).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device capable of ensuring the illumination of, in particular, an area around the front of a stationary motor vehicle. [0002] The invention relates more particularly to a movable (dynamic) lighting and / or signaling device capable of ensuring that, regardless of the position of the driver or passengers located outside the vehicle and moving in the area The area is illuminated to accompany the driver or passenger as the driver or passenger moves within the area. Background technique [0003] Existing vehicles are arranged according to the general rules of series assembly with an automatic delay control used when the vehicle is stopped, which causes the dipped beams and even the night light / dome light inside the compartment to be turned on to produce an General illumination of the area outside the vehicle, thereby enabling the user to move in less than satisfactory conditions by benefiting from this illumination. [0004] In...
